We recently connected with Amy Schuber and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Amy , thanks for joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Ten years ago I started a podcast without really knowing what a podcast was, it was scary and risky. Ten years ago, it wasn’t as common as it is now. It feels like everyone has a podcast now, which actually isn’t true, just feels like it. I thought I would use it as a marketing tool. At the time, I was a business and life coach for entrepreneurs. However, I didn’t want to talk about business or marketing on the podcast, which was against what I was being told, to find a niche and niche it down. I decided I wanted to have conversations with thought leaders and experts in a variety of topics that could spark hearts and ignite souls. I wanted people to be inspired by something outside of their daily grind. So I started inviting people who inspired me. The risk I took was betting on my instincts and my own inspiration versus what people were teaching me to do at the time. By following my instincts a whole world opened up to me. I was booking 8 interviews a week with some of the most inspiring and influential authors, speakers and entrepreneurs. Every interview felt like a special, one on one, personal growth lesson just for me. I have many stories of being touched, moved and inspired by my guests that changed me forever, this an unexpected result. I was doing it for the listeners, not for me. The risk of doing it based on my instincts, changed the path of my life both career and personal.
My intention was to curate Inspired Conversations (the name of my podcast) to bring forth insights to shift paradigms, change perspectives in a way that would create positive changes in people’s lives for personal and business reasons. What it did for me was exactly that and more, it expanded my heart, illuminated a path of expanded consciousness and supported a change in my career by educating and nurturing new ideas about energy and healing – which happened after six years being on the journey. When I looked back I realized the change was supported by the conversations, wisdom and insight feeding my soul through the amazing guests and community I had curated.
It was a risk that, I didn’t know when I took it, would change the trajectory of my career and my life in the best ways. It was laying the foundation for my life as it is now, without knowing that was what I was doing. I only know this now as I’ve been reflecting back on this ten year journey. The risk of doing something I’ve never done before paid dividends I never expected or even knew were going to pay off for me.
The risk of following my instincts and putting myself out there brought me to my purpose of making a difference in the world through my energy work.
Amy , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am an Energy Healer, Business Intuitive, Retreat Facilitator, and the Podcast Host of Inspired Conversations.
Over 15 years ago I made the decision to follow my curiosity and left corporate America to explore my creative, artistic strengths and rediscover my life’s passions. Diving into entrepreneurship, I started as a life/business coach for women entrepreneurs nearly twenty years ago. I loved working with women as they found their voice and spark in their own business. I helped them find their mission, vision and purpose and bring it to fruition with inspired action and foundational operational tools. It was in alignment with my gifts, talents, experience and genius however something was missing for me. While coaching I also launched my podcast as a side, creative/marketing, gig to bring attention to my voice and business. Over the past ten years I’ve interviewed over 500 thought leaders, from best-selling authors, inspiring podcasters, energy healers, coaches, I feel like you name it, I’ve interviewed them. This gave me a huge insight into a deeper set of skills I had that supported my work on a profound level, listening, asking deep questions, aligning with an incredible new community of podcasters and listeners, which has been super fun, and I continue on this podcasting journey to this day. But still something was missing. Cut to the beginning of 2019 when my life was rocked with unexpected loss and overwhelming grief that changed me forever. It was then that I enrolled in an energy healing training at the suggestion of a friend, who was tapped into something I wasn’t at the time. I was perfectly happy receiving energy clearings from others, not having the need to facilitate clearings of my own and had interviewed many energy practitioners about various modalities and the affects of being in the work. I decided to sign up under the guise that this would be another tool in my toolbox for my clients, however, what I discovered was my purpose. What I discovered was my purpose! I repeat it because for years, I had been after my life’s work, my purposeful work. I finally felt what it meant to be truly aligned with my purpose and it was an incredible discovery!
After a year of energy work training it was crystal clear I found my life’s work. Yes, it’s a culmination of all my business training, corporate experience, everything that comes along with life experience and entrepreneurship, etc. etc. but what was real for me was being fully aligned in my purpose as an energy healing/clearing expert. I felt it in my whole body. This is what I’m here to do, no doubt about it. This is the short-ish story of how I came to be an energy clearing/healing practitioner.
I’m so proud that I kept exploring and following my path to my purposeful work. I have been intuitively coaching entrepreneurs and midsize business owners for more than eighteen years. Through my extensive experience, I have found that the personal and career aspects of our lives are interconnected: what impacts one directly impacts the other. I am dedicated to helping people expand both personally and professionally to achieve what they’ve always desired. Whatever you desire for your life in business, personal and in relationships IS possible.
I leverage my gifts in energy clearing to help clients release the blocks they may be facing to actually receive what they are asking for or desiring. We remove inherited blocks that prevent or stifle personal/professional growth. Releasing personal and collective trauma so people can find more peace, success, love, and abundance in all areas of their lives.
I am currently, guided by my advanced training and multi-disciplinary experiences to expertly facilitate clearing sessions with an intention to anchor light, clear the density, negative energetic programs and patterns and inherited blocks, allowing peace and harmony to remain.
We all need energy clearings every once in awhile. We pick up energy from people, places and technology. Have you ever walked into a room or a business and just felt like you wanted to leave right away? Or it felt heavy to you and you didn’t know why? It is the energy. Everything is energy. Sometimes we shake it off and sometimes it sticks and it causes distractions. Has your mind ever raced and you can’t seem to focus? Yep, that can be a distracting energy. It can all be cleared. We’ve also inherited some of these energies, emotions and blocks from our family. Yep, it’s not all yours, we inherit this stuff and it can feel very frustrating to feel like you are running yourself in circles without understanding why. It’s not yours that’s why it can feel so frustrating.
I help people clear anxiety, stress, frustration, lack and feeling/being broke, exhaustion and feeling overly responsible for everyone, people pleasing, the list goes on and on. Some of these programs are yours and some of the programs are other peoples that you’ve taken on. Whatever it is, it can be cleared.
I work with individuals, groups, and companies. When working one on one we focus on your specific blocks, stress, inherited trauma that may be causing the frustration, obstacles or stress. This is the same for clearing a business we focus on what’s going on or in the way of achieving set goals or intentions and clear the way for higher sales, clear communications and removing any roadblocks to success. This may also apply to space, if the space feels strange, it can be cleared. I also work with real estate agents, home-buyers and sellers to clear the home of the previous owner’s energy or to prepare the home to be seen by buyers, it’s transformational.
Whether I’m clearing a space, a home, business, property, or clearing an individual I anchor and hold a sacred space. I tune in, listen, support, and release what no longer belongs and allow the energy to be reset, grounded with a fresh, clear path to remain.
My mission is to bring and anchor light to the planet. In this chaotic time we are living in, it is important we stay connected to ourselves, our values, our instincts, our truth and remain grounded in who we truly are as individuals. Illuminating our truth is the reason we are all here. Anchoring light brings a sense of peace, a calm confidence allowing you to return to you. We’ve been conditioned to look outside of ourselves for validation, confirmation and recognition. The time is now to return to you and look within.
I believe you are the one you’ve been waiting for!
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the calm confidence that overflows after allowing my personal expression to shine through and be seen. Although it might feels scary to let things out in the world it’s an expansion that feels amazing, creates opportunities and possibilities.
It feels good to act on what comes from my heart. I believe we are all here to share our gifts and talents with the world. I believe we are all creative and artistic in our own unique ways. By allowing myself to embrace my creative instincts, whether it’s podcasting, art journaling for fun or being in my energy clearing work, which I believe is a creative gift, I feel fulfilled and on purpose.
We are living through such a beautiful transformational time right now on the planet. Old systems breaking down, shifting consciousness, discomfort in the comfort of our lives and the truth is, everything is changing. In order to ease the discomfort I believe we all must create in our own unique ways. Find your truth and follow it. The world is craving something different. I believe the key to our success is sharing our creative gifts, whatever they may be. Our unique expression and individuality is calling, find yours and live it. Be inspired by you!
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
Yes, me. I wish I understood that doing a deeper dive within myself would have allowed me to discover all the artistic abilities and creativeness I had to offer. This is the starting point. You are the starting point. Listen to yourself, your instincts, your gut and go, start, try something anything that’s on your heart or in your imagination. Paint, create, write, ask for interviews, draw, cook, garden, follow whatever instincts are calling you forward and expand on those. This is the blueprint for your artistic endeavors.
Yes, there are many resources, classes, teachers, guides to support your journey but you must start by trusting yourself and your instincts because only you know.
